ADVENTURE ACTIVITIES
Trekking, mountaineering, camping, rock climbing etc. are regular activities for
our boys and girls. These are organized regularly in association with reputed world
class travel agencies, irrespective of the charges, for imparting hands on knowledge
to the students.
YOGA
The school accepts and acknowledges the multi-dimensional advantages of Yoga and
meditation. It has been absorbed into the weekly time-table schedule. Classes are
conducted under the guidance of a trained Yoga teacher.
SELF DEFENSE
Self defense classes have been introduced for girls of all classes from VI - XI
during their Physical Education periods. These classes enhance their self confidence,
balance and coordination.
CHESS
Students of classes I-IX are encouraged to play chess during their Physical Education
periods – to chisel their logical thinking, concentration and to foster a healthy
competitive spirit.
SOCIALLY USEFUL PRODUCTIVE WORK
Socially Useful Productive Work (SUPW) has been included in the curriculum as a
compulsory subject for classes VI -X under the CCE Programme. It is compulsory for
every student to put in the specified number of work hours to clear this subject
for the Secondary Examination of the CBSE. Introduction of SUPW in the curriculum
inculcates proper interest, attitudes and values among the students.
STUDENT BODY
Social leadership and responsibility are best learnt through active participation.
A number of student appointments, selected after a careful scrutiny of their school
records are entrusted with various responsibilities and share the task of maintaining
decorum in the school. Senior student appointments meet the Principal and Vice Principal
periodically. The junior wing has a similar system of student appointments.
PREFECTORIAL BODY
A number of Clubs/Societies related to a variety of areas like environment, sports,
economics, debate, publication, art, music, social work form an integral part of
co-curricular activity in school. Each Club/ Society has only a selected group of
students appointed from class XII since they are board examinees. The remaining
Appointments will be chosen from class XI. The senior most appointments are the
Head Boy and Head Girl under whose guidance the various groups perform their respective
duties. Sports occupies a significant position and the sports appointments are important
in promoting the spirit of sportsmanship.
This Prefectorial Body comprising nearly 65 members gets selected through an impartial,
democratic process. It is voluntary and the selection procedure involves a detailed
round of group discussion, 3 interview rounds and even a psychoanalysis test supervised
by a group of Faculty members- the Appointment- in-charge and Heads of Departments.
In the final round the short listed candidates are interviewed by the Principal.
Once selected, the appointments are guided and supervised by faculty members appointed
to their specific Club/Society. The ultimate aim is to give interested students
the experience of working and managing a small group with specific objectives,
thus shaping and honing leadership qualities which will hold them in good stead
in the future.
STUDENTS’ BULLETIN
To encourage creative expression, children with a flair for writing are given an
opportunity to contribute articles and sketches for the Annual Magazine or the e-newsletter.
PARENT-TEACHER ASSOCIATION
P.T.A meetings are held after every two months to give an opportunity to the parent
reps. and teachers to meet and discuss the progress of the children. The P.T.A has
opened a Benevolent Fund to help and educate children who unfortunately lose their
earning parent while they are still studying in the school. This gesture has been
greatly appreciated by young widows / single parent / financially low income families
who would otherwise find it difficult to educate their children at DPS. Women, who
unfortunately fall a victim to these circumstances, should apply every year to the
Principal and Secretary, P.T.A for exemption of tuition fee for their children.
